Sandy's new shop looks lovely, Chooky. Thanks for letting us know about her.
Hello Donna,
Sandy has done a wonderful job with her website. It's great to see another shop opening in Australia instead of closing. Thanks for letting everyone know about it.
Happy days.

What a pleasure to be able to move around the online shop just as if it was a brick n mortar shop- moving from each category as if I was walking . Great job and love the kit section as it's always so much easier if the decisions have been made for you. Good luck.
A lovely selection and good pricing . As a novice quilter, it is nice to visit an online shop that is easy to navigate. I wish her success.
Her prices are good, great fabric
Thank you so much for telling us about this lovely online shop. Love the fabrics and the range of notions/accessories etc but I'm really impressed with the flat rate postage!
Sandy's website is uncluttered and easy to use and find what you want - such a pleasant change when compared to lots of other websites!! All subscribed up!!
Sandy has my favourite designers all in one place, Sue Daley & Lynette Anderson. What more could a epp addict like me want x
How lovely ....a new wonderful shop to browse.....or buy from.....thanks for telling us about it Chooky.

Wow that is awesome news for Sandy that it has all come together. I just love her new "birdie" logo. Very tasteful!

Thnak you for the information and the chance to win.
I looked at the website and love the way it sounds, the pictures were blocked, but that could have something to do with my end here. It sounds great, earthtones, traditional sewing, I love to read more about it and signed up for the newsletter.
Greetings,
Sylvia
Woo hoo better go make a purchase
How wonderful to have a patchwork shop. I had wondered what happened to Sandy, as she had a blog post which said she was opening her shop and then no further posts. If my memory has not failed me, you helped Sandy and I at about the same tome to start up our blogs. Have signed up for her newsletter and looking forward to shopping.
great little online shop, very easy to use, love her range of fabrics and assorted packs you can purchase...signed up for the newsletter...think there may be some online shopping going on here soon!
Thanks for sharing Chooky. A very easy shop to navigate and what a choice. Love the different fabrics available and I really like the flat rate shipping too xx
Great shop, like the patterns and kits to go with them. Shipping is good too. Thanks for letting us know about it.
Hugs.....

What a wonderful new venture for your friend Chooky, of course I'll be popping over to the site for a visit... I'm not familiar with the lady or her blog, so that's someone new for me!
Lilly bird pincushion! Have a friend named Lilly and it caught my eye immediately!
Oh Dear Me, I have tears in my eyes after reading all the beautiful comments about my new little shop.Your blog post is lovely Chooky, hugs and kisses my special friend.

I like her website, it's bright and friendly and easy to navigate. I like her flat rate of postage $6.50, which is a good idea. Cheers and good luck to Shiralee Stitches!

I like the shop website, especially the petite fabric packs. What a wonderful idea for those of us who applique and only use small pieces! I have subscribed to the newsletter.
It's great to see Sandy's store up and running on line. She has such a great variety of supplies. I'll certainly be watching.
What a wonderful shop...I tried to order from her, but alas, she is only set up for Australia for shipping...sigh...I loved the create a cover case she carries.
That's exciting for Sandy to be online now. Her site is well set out and very user friendly. I might have to look to see what tempts me before my next trip over to Oz I'm sure my Mum would wonder what was arriving in her mailbox for me to pick up.
Better late than never...popping over!
